30k for a bodykit?
thats a sick kit, but for that amount of money you could upgrade to a tt and built engine and travel at the speed of sound, id rather do that. just my opinion. but im sure its for show cars and people who have so much money they dont know what to do with.

I know our customer who ordered this kit (not the dry carbon version), already has everything else done, and just decided it was time for a new, fresh look
30k for dry carbon version is too much. They would sell allot more in Dry CF if the price was more in line. Its no mystery.. the molds are the same.. its just carbon with the resin pre-impregnated. take it out of the freezer and lay it already
The FRP ones are done with one mold, the dry carbon are done with another...so you have twice the mold costs. Obviously the cost of the carbon itself is far more expensive than the cost of the fiberglass, the many hours are also much more expensive, and so is the equipment. The kit was designed to be an exclusive group of pieces for a very exclusive (in Japan) car.
Amuse, and many other higher end Japanese companies, don't really care about volume, they care about quality and integrity of design. Their very much in the vein of low volume American or European car tuning companies (high end), that cater to a smaller audience, but who's products have worldwide recognition. It's just a different business model than what most modern Americans are used to seeing
